Components are taking center stage in Ember 2.0. Here are some things you can do today to make the transition as smooth as possible:
- Use Ember CLI
- In general, replace views + controllers with components
- Only use controllers at the top-level for receiving data from the route, and use
Ember.Controller
instead of Ember.ArrayController
or Ember.ObjectController
- Fetch data in your route, and set it as normal properties on your top-level controller. Export an
Ember.Controller
, otherwise a proxy will be generated. You can use Ember.RSVP.hash to simulate setting normal props on your controller.
